I am William 'Gerard' Wright a seven-year employee of the Clerk of the Fulton County. During my tenure, I identified three primary deficiencies within the clerk's office. As a result I have become a candidate for Clerk of Fulton County to improve this vital government office. 

My three goals are to: (i) improve customer service, (ii) train staff to better communicate with citizens and (iii) improve the technology, records management and documentation systems.

I am dedicated and committed to serving this office, the county and its citizens. I humbly seek your support. Please vote for me July 15, 2008!

(These are the three points you should highlight each time you speak publicly or privately with anyone. This is your “Change People Can Believe In”)
